6. Favorite Place to ride

This is always a tough Question. I guess where the best snow is, but with perfect conditions. I would say, that my home resort in Bariloche, is top 3 of my list. Then I would put the the Engadin valley and Chamonix to complete this top 3.

I like hanging out in the mountains, even though I'm not skiing. I really like trekking and climbing. So I do a lot of that and also going out with the bike. Lots of fun and great to have on the side of skiing, some of the feelings are so similar.
I like making bbq and hanging out with my friends, I've always been a very social person :-)

16. How did you become involved in Ski Touring?

In the world of freeride, ski touring it's the evolution of it. At first we ski next to the ski resorts, later we look for more remote areas, where not a lot of people go. So for me it was just natural to go out and explore the back country. That perfect slope, with perfect snow, where there are no tracks. Fresh!

I like ski touring in Patagonia a lot. Many undiscovered terrain…

Skins, Water (minimum 1 Litre), food and snacks, pocket knife, head lamp, extra gloves, two carabiners and one 120 mm sling, 10 meters ultra light rope, binoculars, first aid kit, photo camera.
